11.) Now, you are ready to re-insert the carbon tube into the larger tube. Be sure to
feed all but the last compression ring (with the edge) into the tube of the top
section before screwing on the twist lock cover. If they are not inserted, the
cover will not screw on all the way and the twistlock will fail.
For Rapid models, when putting your finger inside the top (larger tube), you will notice a
ridge. Place the tube with the ridge on top to facilitate the next step: The large C-Ring has
an opening where the two ends of the "C" meet - please align this channel with the ridge in
the larger tube when feeding the rings into the tube.
Tightening and cleaning the angle adjustment of the legs
1.) To tighten or loosen the legs’ angle adjustment, simultaneously insert the two hex
tools (included) in the Allan screws at the very top of the leg (where it is attached to
the mainframe) and turn them in opposite directions until desired degree of tension is
reached (see picture leg tightening).
2.) If there is evidence that dirt has worked its way into the assembly – e.g. the leg will
not hold tension, unsrew completely and remove the bolt for cleaning with a rag.
Before re-assembling, re-lubricate using a small amount of Marine Grease (do not
use liquid lubricant).
